Answer 1

Liberal democracy is a liberal political ideology and a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of classical liberalism.

Liberal democracy emphasises the separation of powers, an independent judiciary and a system of checks and balances between branches of government. Liberal democracies are likely to emphasise the importance of the state being a Rechtsstaat, i.e. a state that follows the principle of rule of law.
